The user can utilize several functional capabilities such as: Executing commands only if a specific task (or tasks) is (or is not) active. Commands can be issued based on time of day, day of week, and esoteric elements such as if something else is running or not running at the time, and many more functions are available as part of the product. This utility will allow the user to execute MVS or JES2 commands with a complex scripting capability within a batch job or started task. The functions can be based on other active variables or logistic information. Inexpensive cost. Extremely easy to understand and implement. Able to be supported by non-experienced personnel. Inexpensive way to manage large computing environments. Easily justified based on savings in training and the wealth of built-in features. Some of those features include: Nested IF/THEN/ELSE capabiltity (up to 8 levels) IF logic for Whether or not a particular JOB/STC/TSO user is started (or not), If specific VOLSERs or Units are ONLINE (or OFFLINE), Day of Week, Time of day, LPAR ID (system ID), and more!!! Cause the script to "WAIT" for a specific "thing" to happen, like for a specific JOB to start, or a specific time of day, or any of many variable items including (a Syzygy exclusive) for VTAM to not only be started but be ready for work without requiring any VTAM changes to support this function. Provide the ability to reply to outstanding messages without regard to their reply-id's or even knowing the complete text or message ID of the message. You can reply to "ANY" outstanding message for a JOB/STC/USER, or to all messages that are currently outstanding. Pause from 1 second to 9999 hours, or "until" a specific time of day. |
